Bronze cauldron

Iron Age AD 1-50
Found in a ditch at Spettisbury Rings, Dorset, England

Most Iron Age cauldrons were large - about the same size as Late
Bronze Age cauldrons, for example the Battersea cauldron. This
example from the Iron Age is half the size and would have been able
to cook much less food. It was made from pieces of bronze sheet
held together rivets, which have large decorative heads. The mouth
of the cauldron was strengthened by rolling the bronze sheet around
an iron ring.

Metal cauldrons like this are unusual and rare finds. Perhaps
most people in Dorset at this time only cooked using pots and did
not own a cauldron.
